A Woman Traveling Alone by Airplane to Her Husband
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to travel to her husband, traveling alone to another country, where the journey is two hours by airplane, and he is waiting for her in a place?
Answer:
Even if she contradicts the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel alone. It is not permissible for her at all. He did not specify whether she travels with a group, travels alone, travels on a camel, travels on an airplane, travels in a car, or travels on a ship. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify the means of travel; they specified it on their own.
So it is not permissible for a woman to travel except with a mahram (a relative one may not marry) on any means of transport, whether a fast means, a slow means, or on foot. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify the means of travel; they are the ones who specified it. Yes.
